Detailed Engineering Specifications

Engineered for reliability and performance, this U-bolt is constructed from high-impact polycarbonate, offering exceptional resistance to chemicals, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures (-40°F to 250°F). The dimensions of 3.71 inches inside width (A) and 6.48 inches inside length (B), coupled with 1/2"-13 UNC threads, ensure a precise fit for 3-inch nominal pipe. Its non-metallic nature eliminates galvanic corrosion and provides electrical insulation, making it ideal for use in marine, chemical processing, and wastewater applications where metal U-bolts would degrade or pose electrical hazards.
